Sams Silver Fabia VRS

[Sam84]

So you may have seen in general Fabia section i have bought myself my first fabia after coming from a Focus Rs, i found this through the forum and here are the original pics:

As you can see from the reg plate the car will be called Flo as this is what the previous owner called her. Its sat on Joms with mondeo drop links, its got porsche reps, exhaust and a remap. Im planning on adding my own touches, this started within an hour of owning it i had bought some wind deflectors, got them fitted today:

I also noted the interior light had 2 led map lights but centre light was normal one so i swapped it for a festoon i had lying about but then i broke the map light bulb! Oooops so got some on order

Going to use the 10 bulbs to replace them around the car and fit some footwell lights as well, next set of things ive got is a stubby ariel and replacment front ashtray as the original is a bit messy

[Sam84]

Now when im driving on my own the car doesnt make any dodgy noises but when i put weight in with passangers etc its making a weird knocking noise over normal road surface and when pulling away so i think its the console bushes so ive vought the ibiza cupra fr ones from darkside:

I then went a bit mad on ebay and threw a bid on a whiteline anti roll bar, didnt esxpect to win but i did:

Just need to get it cleaned up and fitted.

[Sam84]

So after 105k the steering wheel and gearstick were a bit shiny:

So with a bit of cleaning , ive taken a bit of the shine off:

Now ive got the wheels but didnt like the black valve caps so what do you reckon:

Or

[Sam84]

All tooked up in the garage next to Capri and the BMX

Plans for rest of week are to fit a rear wash wiper, i like the dewipered look but cant live with not having a clear rear screen! Ive also just purchased the flashing brake light mod as well, missed out on the coming home lights mod.

Love them wheels! 16" or 17"?

Korban will still make up the home coming lights kit for you if you contact him

[Sam84]

16" i believe, yeah i know he can, was hoping to pick them up cheap from another forum user who was selling them! He will be getting a message in new year.

What did you use on the steering wheel?

[Sam84]

What did you use on the steering wheel?

One of those JML magic erasers that you can use on pots, pans, walls etc to remove marks! Just rub it on when wet then dry it all off, job done.

Ah neat little trick that and nice and cheap. Top tip there sam.

[DanHam]

I got some of those sponges for mine! Amazing the crap that comes off and the sponge is absolutely filthy!

Doesn't take long to get shiny again though :(

[Sam84]

No it doesnt but its better than that lol still waiting for postman to bring me all my goodies, hoping some arrived today so i can have a mess about when im home.

Well the RARB is now fitted, my brother bought me auto lights module for christmas, ive bought myself the parts to do the Elephant mod and a PD160 intake pipe oh and a lanyard for my keys.

Will update thread when i actually get time to do some work on it, brother is moving house so got to help him.

Sam

Are they genuine porsche wheels.

[Sam84]

I have no clue! Normally im really into cars and mess straight away but my garage is rammed as both mum and brother moving, its been christmas so ive been awayor ive been working so all ive done is drive it not looked at anything properly yet!

Just remembered getting centre armrest on sat as well.

[Sam84]

Today's purchase. A mk4 arm rest, its a bit mucky but got all the parts and only cost me £25!

Tomorrows purchase mk4 Golf GT TDI cloth interior.

[Sam84]

Well heres a few pics of my future mods, got plenty bought just no time to currently fit!

Got my auto lights module which was a christmas present:

Then ive got a nice selection of LED's going to create some footwell lights with these:

I put my armrest into its rough position just to see what it looks like:

Got my pd160 intake pipe and my elephant mod parts:

Then i wanted some flat wipers so ordered a set on ebay, imagine my suprise when i get 4 wipers deliverd! Only paid for 1 set:

I bought these for my brothers Golf as his Birthday present but as he hasnt fitted them yet i may steal them for the fabia:

Also got these sat in my garage waiting to go on Golf, wonder if i can get them to fit!

Good update Sam.

Sam

Easy way to tell, look for adapters porsche wheels are 5x130

[leenel88]

Hi sam can I please ask you where you got the bung from for the elephant mod as I'll need one for doing mine, cars looks great on them wheels by the way 17's look just the right size on a fabia

[Sam84]

Deffo reps then, thought they would be.

[Tobbi3]

I really like the look with those alloys, real clean!
